Ten Hag sets record-breaking goal target for Marcus Rashford

Erik Ten Hag has challenged Marcus Rashford to hit 30 to 35 goals this season.

“[There is] much more to come [from Marcus] and we have months to play, important months,” Erik explained when discussing Rashford, whose previous season-high goal tally is 22. 

 “We have to get into a position where we can win trophies, till now, where we are, Marcus has a big impact in this season. “I remember at the start of the season, I was questioning can he score 20 goals, now he has that marker, he has scored 20 goals, but now it’s about getting more. 

 “He has to challenge himself to get 30 or 35, but most focus has to be on the next goal and if you be in that focus, you will see where you end up. But most important, finally, is that we win as a team.”

Rashford has scored 20 goals so far across all competitions. He has 11 in the Premier League alone.

Should he end the season with 35 strikes in the league, he will become the first player to achieve that feat - breaking Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's record.
